Plagued by nightmares, Annette yearns to find her anonymous rescuer — the man who saved her life from a near deadly assault. Deep inside she is starving for companionship and a mutually respectful relationship. When Mr. Peter Adsley, an abolitionist pastor dealing with his own emotional baggage, agrees to a clandestine meeting, the event appears providential. But self-doubt, deception, and the schemes of a mutual enemy threaten to keep the pair apart. A phantom adversary will stop at nothing to win Annette’s dowry for himself, even if it means killing Peter.
Praise for the Book
"Not only is this a delightful regency romance but it is also suspense filled mystery of the very best kind." - Amazon Review
"The author did a great job, maybe too great a job, describing the slave scenes. Spine tingling and suspenseful. I was biting my nails throughout much of this book." - Amazon Review

My Review:
Starving Hearts is a good beginning to the Triangular Trade Trilogy. I absolutely loved Annette and Peter. The story has some mystery and suspense. I mostly appreciated the historical details and found them to be quite interesting. Though the story did get a little slow in the middle, it quickly picked back up within a few chapters.
I am giving Starving Hearts three and a half stars. I look forward to see where Triangular Trade Trilogy goes to next in book two.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Miss Mary Hope Adsley always considered herself to be the sensible one. But now, her sensibilities are unraveling around a man she thought she knew. After he attempted to marry her best friend—for money, no less—authorities charge Sir Steven Likebridge with masquerading as a gentleman and abduction. With his execution days away, Mary Hope desperately seeks to learn the truth about the man she loves.
Will the truth turn out to be worse than his lies?
Praise for the Book
"I thoroughly enjoyed this clean, historical fiction. . . enjoyed most that it is not the usual presentation of a regency novel." - Amazon Review
"A lovely story that shows how despicable each of us can be and yet God not only still loves us, but He was willing to die for us." - Amazon Review

About the Author
My Review:
Never Past Hope is the second book from Janine Mendenhall’s Triangular Trade Trilogy. Since, I read this one before book one, I feel believe it can be read as a stand alone. I thought this was a pretty good read. I enjoyed Mary and Steven’s story. I had no problems wanting to keep turning the pages to see where they were headed to next.
I give Never Past Hope four stars. I look forward to see where Triangular Trade Trilogy goes to next in the third and final installment.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
